A Yorkie Painted Himself Into the Studio. The Palette Says It All.
Every portrait needs a painter, and this one has chosen to appear in his own studio. A blue and tan Yorkshire Terrier tilts his head slightly under a floppy black beret, whiskers neat, eyes bright and curious. In one paw he balances a wooden palette dotted with blobs of red, blue, and yellow paint. His green velvet coat is edged in gold, and a crisp white collar sits at his throat, while a single candle lights the dim room behind him.
Yorkshire Terriers are small dogs with a big terrier spirit: alert, brave, and quick to announce visitors. Their silky coat grows long and needs regular brushing, or a shorter trim for easier care. Because they are so small, they do well with positive, patient training and with gentle handling, and they can get chilly in cold weather. Dental care is especially useful for toy breeds, since their little mouths collect plaque easily. Talk with your vet about a routine that keeps your terrier healthy and comfortable.
The palette is the star detail here, with each color painted so carefully it almost looks wet. The terrier appears to be studying his audience as thoughtfully as any subject he might paint. If he ever picks up a brush, the result will probably be bold, confident, and a little bit fluffy. A studio like this one is never short of admirers.
